Able to halt
Interruptible describes something that can be stopped or paused mid-process.
An interruptible power supply may be cut during peak demand.
An interruptible task can be suspended without losing progress.
The word often appears in contracts and technical contexts where continuity isn't guaranteed: interruptible service, interruptible gas rates.
